HARRISBURG – Following the governor’s budget address, Rep. Aaron Bernstine (R-Beaver/Butler/Lawrence) outlined his priorities for the 2017-18 state budget in the statement below:
“As I take part in the budget process for the first time as a state representative, I’m concerned with how any new proposals will affect the hard-working people of the 10th District. Too many men and women are still unemployed, and many working folks are still struggling to make ends meet. The voters sent me to Harrisburg to protect them from the dangers of excessive government spending, to help restart our economy and to bring jobs back to our region. As the process evolves over the next few months, I intend to remain vigilant on behalf of the working men and women who just can’t afford to give government an increase in its already out-of-control allowance.”
“As we wade into the details of the state budget, we must first look at ways to cut spending and invest taxpayer dollars only in the most vital government services if we want to move Pennsylvania forward. I have heard dozens of examples of inefficiencies, wasteful spending and outright fraud in our systems, so I’m excited to work together with my colleagues to find and fix some of these problems and map out a more responsible spending plan for Pennsylvania.”
